The third mem ber, Nick Reynolds, is the son of a Navy officer and traveled all over the world with his father, picking up songs along the way. , Guard, spokesman and leader of the group, says they “are not folk singers in the accepted sense of the word, but' our interest in this brought us together.

In observance-of the chapter's 25th anniversary—founded at the University in 1035—and the na- ?otatt UN For Figure Calls Many Leaders “No country has a monopoly on leadership,” Dr. Andrew W. Cordier, executive assistant to the Secretary General of the United Nations, said here last night. His lecture, "The United Nations in a Revolutionary World,” was co-sponsored by the Graduate School Lecture Series and the Committee on In- 1 iternational Understanding. Cordier pointed out that the equal distribution of good leaders in all parts of the world is a heal-| thy condition in world society, Hei said that this fact makes neces-! sary an adjustment of the races 1 of the world and a different'con cept of leadership, especially among the western powers. The United Stales should not feel that it always has to lead. Cordier said. With its eagerness to lead the United States tries to transplant its advanced tech nology too quickly. This creates a problem in that the help that the United States' tries to give is often not in accord with the needs of other countries. “Our programs of international aid need the keenest kind of ex amination if they are to have maximum influence and foster proper relationships with other countries,” Cordier said, In all of our foreign policy we should not ask others to follow us. Any acceptance of our values should be completely voluntary, Cordier added. With the acceptance of the excellence of leadership and independence In other countries, western powers and all world powers must recognize new ris ing nations and give them status and dignity in the world and in, theUniied Nations. Cordier said he believes the most significant aspect of the Uni-, ted Nations today is the fact that; new nations coming into being are 1 being given a ready made oppor tunity for-participation. The United Nations is a tran quilizer between national leaders and the new outside world.-With out the United Nations national leaders would become involved in domestic strife and numerous in ternational differences. • "New nations must be given as much assistance as possible and their leaders must be given the opportunity to speak and form opinions on the world state of affairs," Cordier said. “The United Nations is now do-* ing a better job than most of the' peoples of the world know. It has given humanity a better fighting chance to have peace,” Cordier concluded. tional organization’s 50th anni versary, men student leaders will be honored at the dinner for the] first time.
